Question

My mom and dad are both senior citizens, and I've been getting a bit concerned about their heart health because there seem to be so many cases of blockages popping up lately. I think catching any issues early on would be really helpful. Also, I've noticed these yellow patches around my mom's eyes, and when I looked it up, it seems like they might be cholesterol deposits or Xanthelasma. Could you suggest what tests we should consider for early detection of any possible issues?

Question

I'm trying to understand my echo report. It says all chamber sizes are normal, there's no regurgitation, and valve morphology is normal, with normal LV function. But it doesn't mention anything about pulmonary artery pressure. Does this mean my pulmonary pressure is normal? I'm a bit confused and would love some clarity on this.

Question

I'm dealing with mitral valve prolapse with some mild regurgitation, and I've been on Cardivas for my blood pressure. My doctor mentioned it might also help with MVP. However, I've been having issues with sexual dysfunction, so my doctor switched me to Nebicard. I'm curious which medication, Cardivas or Nebicard, is better for managing both my blood pressure and mitigating any sexual side effects. Any insights would be really helpful.

Question

I'm really confused because my Echo and ECG tests came back normal, but I'm still experiencing these palpitations. I'm a GERD patient, and whenever these palpitations hit, I get really nervous. What could be causing this, and is there anything I should be doing or looking out for?
